There will be another busy week at Elboya with Gr. 8 & 9 students leaving for Band Camp, lots of athletic games going on, a School Council meeting on Thursday and a professional day of learning scheduled for staff on Friday.  Of particular interest at the School Council meeting this week will be a discussion on teacher wish lists and how the Council can best support student learning.  All Elboya families are welcome to attend and provide input.

 

 

Band

Band - Thank you to everyone who supported the Elboya Band Bottle Drive this weekend! The Grade 8 & 9 students are away at Band Camp from Monday to Wednesday this week. Thank you to all the families who prepared their students for this trip and for the ESBPA's continued support. - Mrs. Bates

We wish all our Gr. 8 & 9 students as well as all the chaperones a wonderful and safe trip!
